    “Rarity of coming into contact with”?

    Do you not know that Clostridium Tetani is present in nearly every sample of soil from every region of the globe? Present in the feces of most mammals? It’s literally one of the most widespread bacteria on earth. You only think it’s rare because of how effective vaccination has been.

      A friend of mine got it from working at his dad’s auto wrecking business. Started off with a tiny scratch on his finger and within a week ballooned into a 2 week hospital stay and a warning he might be sterile when it was all over (he wasn’t).

      Get vaxed for it.
